<a name="toolwindows"><h4>Tool Windows</h4></a>

<p>
    Tool windows are used in the Sentinel Toolbox to display information and properties of
    the currently selected data product or component of a data product.
    They are also used to manage and edit the properties of the current view,
    such as pins, masks or colours of the current image view.
    In contrast to image or metadata views, the Sentinel Toolbox has only a single instance of each particular
    tool window. It can be shown, hidden, docked or floating. Tool windows can also be grouped
    together. Users can also save and reload the current layout of tool windows and tool bars.
</p>

<p>
    You will find all available tool windows in the <b>View/Tool Windows</b> menu.
    Many tool windows also have corresponding tool bar icons.
</p>

<h4>General Concepts</h4>
<h5>Docking, Floating and Grouping</h5>

<p>
    You can drag each tool window by clicking and holding its title bar. The outline
    of the window is shown while you are dragging around the tool window.
    The outline shows you where it will be dropped if you release the mouse button.</p>

<p class="inote"><b>Note</b>:
    To group multiple tool windows in one window you have to move the mouse pointer,
    while dragging one window, on the title bar of an other tool window and hold down simultaneously the <b>CONTROL</b>-Key.
    You will get one window with one tab for each grouped tool window.<br>
    To remove a tool window from a group you have to drag the tab out of the grouped window stack.
</p>

<h5><a name="layout">Layout Management</a></h5>

<p>
    The view menu contains the entry 'Manage Layout'. This menu consists of
    items to manage the current layout.<br>
<ul>
    <li><b>Load User Layout</b> - Load the stored user layout.<br></li>
    <li><b>Save as User Layout</b> - Saves the current layout of tool windows.<br></li>
    <li><b>Reset to Default Layout</b> - Resets the layout to the default layout of the Sentinel Toolbox.</li>
</ul>

<h5>Tab Mode</h5>

<p>
    If a tool window is docked to one side, you can hit the pin button in its title bar,
    it will switch in to the tab mode. Which means that the tool window
    collapses and on the side a tab appears representing the window. If you move the mouse
    pointer over this tab the tool window will expand. When leaving the tool window area the
    window slides automatically away.
</p>

<p class="inote"><b>Note</b>:
    To switch a tabbed window back into the floating mode you have to hit the pin
    icon in the title bar, to dock to window first. If it is docked you can put it
    into floating mode by dragging its title bar.
</p>

<p align="center"><img src="images/ToolWindowsAutoHide.png" ></p>

<h5>Context Menu</h5>

<p>The context menu is invoked by clicking with the right mouse button on the title bar of a tool window.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/ToolWindowContextMenu.png"></p>
<p>In this menu you can</p>
<ul>
    <li>switch between floating, docked and auto hide mode</li>
    <li>disable the dockable functionality of a tool window</li>
    <li>close a tool window</li>
</ul>
